Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What are the symptoms of Premature birth?
### Response: A premature infant's organs are not fully developed. The infant needs special care in a nursery until the organ systems have developed enough to sustain life without medical support. This may take weeks to months.
A premature infant will have a lower birth weight than a full-term infant. Common physical signs of prematurity include:
Body hair (lanugo) Abnormal breathing patterns (shallow, irregular pauses in breathing called apnea) Enlarged clitoris (female infant) Problems breathing due to immature lungs (neonatal respiratory distress syndrome) or pneumonia Lower muscle tone and less activity than full-term infants Problems feeding due to difficulty sucking or coordinating swallowing and breathing Less body fat Small scrotum, smooth without ridges, and undescended testicles (male infant) Soft, flexible ear cartilage Thin, smooth, shiny skin, which is often transparent (can see veins under skin)
Not all premature babies will have these characteristics.
